Revision as of 19:40, 11 September 2023
Get Your Weight Off Of Me was a demo recorded by Michael Jackson during recording sessions for his album "Invincible." These sessions took place in 1997 and lasted until 2001. The exact year Get Your Weight Off Of Me was recorded hasn't been confirmed. The track was scrapped from Invincible but was reworked and planned to be released on the Michael Jackson Ultimate Collection in 2004, however, it was scrapped yet again. It's assumed the song was considered for Michael's second posthumous album Xscape, but it again didn't make the cut[1]
Snippets of the song had been circulating on the internet since 2010, but it was never known for sure by the community what snippets were real or fake. It became the most well-known unreleased song among fans.
Availability
While it remains unknown how many copies exist, the Michael Jackson Estate owns a copy and a CD with the date of March 31st, 2014 has the song on it. The CD with the song was auctioned in 2018, though nobody ended up buying it.[2] The date on the auctioned CD is the same day Xscape was announced.
You can also listen to the leaked snippets here (Note: The leaked version of the song is faster than the snippets because it is the demo. Most snippets are most likely from the 2004 reworked version. Both are official, however.)

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You took my heart in your hand
I'll bleed and run like a man
I'll never see you again
(listen)
I was the fool you could take
Another heart you could break
So let me go for my sake
[pre-chorus]
I’ll get a message to you
You know I’ll never stop trying, baby (Can’t stop)
This will get by, baby
See, you got a lesson to learn
You only get what you earn (No, no, no)
I've got this game (No, no, no, no)
And I have to go my way alone, baby
[chorus]
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be
You keep on hating on me
You just don't have what it takes
So let me go for our sake
No more of me left to break
[Verse 2]
I'm like Your dog on a chain
My thoughts of you still remain
You signed the house in your name
(Listen)
I have the pill you should take
Of that disease I can shake
You're every doctor's mistake
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
[pre-chorus]
I’ll get a message to you
You know I’ll never stop trying, baby (Can’t stop)
This will get by, baby
See, you got a lesson to learn
You only get what you earn (No, no, no)
I've got this game (No, no, no, no)
And I have to go my way alone, baby
[chorus]
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be
You keep on hating on me
You just don't have what it takes
So let me go for our sake
No more of me left to break
You just, you just did it
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be
You keep on hating on me
You just don't have what it takes
So let me go for our sake
No more of me left to break
[pre-chorus]
I’ll get a message to you
You know I’ll never stop trying, baby (Can’t stop)
This will get by, baby
See, you got a lesson to learn
You only get what you earn (No, no, no)
I've got this game (No, no, no, no)
And I have to go my way alone, baby
[chorus]
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be
You keep on hating on me
You just don't have what it takes
So let me go for our sake
No more of me left to break
[final chorus]
Just get your weight off of me (You ain't gonna ever get out)
(You ain't gonna ever get out)
Just get your weight off of me (You ain't gonna ever get out)
Just get your weight off of me (You ain't gonna ever get out)
(You ain't gonna ever get out)
Just get your weight off of me (You ain't gonna ever get out)
Just get your weight off of me
(Go on, baby)
